Good day, fellow Americans. Do you remember your history lessons from school? Do you remember looking at paintings of guys wearing white wigs, gathered around a table in some assembly hall, with pens in their hands and looking quite satisfied? Do you remember the painting I used as the article image- the three American Patriots that came to symbolize our freedom and victory from King George III? Lastly, do you remember what you were taught about The US Constitution while in secondary school, before you might have journeyed off to college? Uh huh. Indeed. I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention, but there is a new President in office who has the unbridled power of a King, given to him by the progressives and supported by an America-hating Democrat-controlled Congress. Indeed, Presi...

With the Health Care vote on the horizon the political atmosphere is heated at best. The strong arm tactics, sweetheart deals, Hollywood antics, intimidation, deception and secrecy has only made the debate more intense. None of those strategies have met with much favorability with the American people, regardless of whether it’s all been done before, it’s the status quo, or it’s what has to be done to get the bill passed.

They have a duty to find out whether their constituents like or dislike this bill then go back to Congress and vote on the bill from the res...

We’ve heard about it on television and the radio, and now by mail I'VE been warned that in about one week from now, you will receive a 2010 Census form in the mail. No getting around it, I’ll have to answer ten questions that will give the government information that will help determine Congressional Representation and federal aid. While I’m not crazy about the census, I’m even less fond of the American Community Survey [more on that in an upcoming post] I’m certainly not advocating lying. As a matter of fact, I strongly suggest that EVERYONE tell the TRUTH. So, let’s take a look at each of the ten questions on the census, shall we? First, we have questions one and two, the later is redundant. #1. How many people were living or staying in this house, apartment, or mobile home on April 1, 2010? In and of itself, it is appropriate; because THAT is the type of information the government needs to determine Congressional Representation. My answer: 4 BUT question #2: Were there any addi...
